This Sunday the Greek community gathered to honour and commemorate the 85th Year Anniversary of the Battle of Crete. This year, as part of a wider programme, the Cretans Association of NZ proudly hosted the Hellenic Ministry of Defence delegation, led by Lieutenant General Konstantinos Bouzos and joined by Australian representatives. This Sunday a formal wreath laying ceremony took place at the memorial and were joined by the NZ Defence Forces and representatives of Government. Honoring the 1941 resistance these days have been very special to all those who attended.

Age Concern, a registered charity providing support to those aged 65 and over, recently contacted us. They have been approached by several members of the Greek community seeking assistance and have invited us to collaborate on meeting these needs.

We are committed to supporting our seniors in ways they find most beneficial. To achieve this, we are looking for volunteers willing to connect with our senior members. Opportunities to help include:

- Visitor Service: Visiting an older person for a chat and a cup of tea.

- Walking Service: Accompanying a senior on a short walk.

- Community Connection: Assisting those who find it challenging to attend church services or community functions.

If you know of someone who would benefit from this support, or if you are able to volunteer your time, please let us know at [email protected].

Additionally, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for activities that could better support our senior members and their families. Whether for individuals or groups, we are open to discussing how we can best assist.

Best regards,

Greek Orthodox Community Wellington

Today the Greek Orthodox Community of Wellington (John Kaldelis and Kalliope Boulieris) alongside the Cretan Association of New Zealand (Fiona and Stelios Hatzilamprou) honoured the sacrifice of the New Zealand and Australian soldiers at the wreath laying service.
Their spirit lives on.
Lest we forget.
